Dave

The new model looks great. Didn't you end up using those imported wheels you showed me? Have you taken it out yet?

I sat in this today as David had it assembled when I went out there. It felt very comfortable, he's designed a great landyacht.

He said he'd post a picture of it assembled after he's taken it for a test run, just incase any mods are required.

Those seats keep cropping up over the years. They were designed by an english designer John Glen in the early 80's. the seat were used on a number of his designs until 86 . There is a rule in class 5 that no fairing were to be used, in 86 the Europeans decided to just ignore the rule and the seats became obsolete. If I remember correctly it was Bill Finch (SA)who brought one back from the 83 Europeans. It wasnt as comfy as the seat designed by Stan Sharp (WA)and never became popular.
